      earnest Q in pursuit of persuasive reassurance: why do you think Trump won't win?

      Fallacy here is assuming that the entirety of Obama's coalition will just transfer neatly over to HRC.

      Also: generic GOP was always favored this year after two consecutive, polarizing Dem terms. There's denial about that

      I think a generic GOP could beat HRC. But Trump will keep non-whites, single women, young, etc. in Dem camp.

      Well other thing is to shore up GOP support Trump is backtracking on economic populism (on tax cuts, etc)

      Trump is trying to square the circle by saying contrary things (his usual strategy) but will be easy to tie him to GOP

      Trump is very likely to pick up way more nonwhite voters than Romney or McCain, celebrity appeal transcends.

      The public opinion polls show Trump has WORSE favorability with non-whites than Romney or McCain.

          Even if Trump maintains same as Romney, more GOP-led states now. More Interstate Crosscheck.
